Stamps of Dahomey (Benin): S4E5

Let's explore stamps from Dahomey and current day Benin! In this episode, I learn about the Kingdom of Dahomey (and where it is), the Dahomey Amazons that made it into Marvel comics, the Scramble for Africa, and the incredible Village of Ganvie that is also known as the 'Venice of Africa'.
